Glass shopping carts

Seriously? Holiday gift guides still divide merchandise into his and hers?

According to Chapters, women are interested in cooking, shopping, bland, inoffensive music by inoffensively bland young men (hello, Josh Groban!), Celine Dion, and soapy TV shows. Men, on the other hand are interested in politics, history, bland music by the shell of a formerly credible artist (hello, Eric Clapton!), Springsteen, and tragic-epic TV shows.

Oh, and Borat. Borat next to Brian Mulroney. That's almost—almost—enough to make the old-school sexism excusable.
